Maaret Pyhäjärvi is a seasoned testing and engineering leader with over 11 years of experience driving quality transformations across product organizations, now scaling AI-driven application testing as Director of Consulting at CGI in Helsinki. She combines hands-on exploratory testing and polyglot programming with operational leadership, having led teams and redefined roles at F-Secure and Vaisala to make testing a continuous, value-focused activity. Known as a pragmatic change agent, she shifts focus from testing features to testing ideas and organizations, improving measurable customer satisfaction and faster response to change. An educator and conference designer who keeps course materials openly licensed, she blends research-backed methods with practical coaching to uplift teams.
